and violence with israel. so they talked a lot about armed resistance, but they fired very few rockets and they didn't let anybody else do it. because of the internal power struggle and because they want to say to the external leadership and to everybody else in hamas, hey, we rule gaza and we do the fighting against israel, they have unfurled again the banner of armed resistance and dragged this in. now, let me just say, though, israel too escalated at one point. there was a cease-fire that was holding and israel used that cease-fire and they admit this to lull hamas into a false sense of security and murder its military commander, which set off the latest round, so -- and they are in an election cycle and i think israeli politicians are also sinically using this violence to seem tough, to strike a pose, to win points against their rivals, and so i think you have very few clean hands here. i do think, yeah, the change within dynamics within hamas explain why this started again in 2012. >> and very quickly, i

you know invading and holding on to gaza is a nightmare for israel. it's a warren of groups, refugee camps, buried weapons caches. the israelis do not want to go back in with a ground force. there's no benefit from it. but on the other hand, if hamas is going to continue these rocket attacks, they're going to have to. but i think at the end of the day, what hamas would like to do is draw sympathy for the palestinians and draw the support of countries like egypt. you know, what's left of syria, jordan and the rest of it. i think they are continuing to look for some sort of arab backing, hoping to get something out of it. >> ben, i want to ask you, i talked to the foreign ministry spokesman earlier and asked him, he sort of demurred on the answer. does hamas come out of this stronger than they were before and stronger than the palestinian group which controls the west bank? >> certainly. if you look at the experience of the last 20 years, yes, it probably will. you look at hezbollah after the 2006 war, they emerged stronger. hamas came out of the operat
